I deeply appreciate the way you really do your damnedest to bring the viewer into the game with you and explain explicitly how it feels to play. I find you are better at describing gamefeel than 99% of game reviewers and it brings me zooming to your videos the second they come out.
Definitely looking forward to when he covers the Astro Bot game on PS5. It's frankly amazing to see a platformer in this generation get so universally adored by literally every single person who's played it and I would love to hear his thoughts on it.
Not going to lie, the highlight of this review were the little clips of your VR playing. The reason people don't talk about it much is probably that those who are looking for cute 3D platformers aren't going to go to the Playstation VR for that and vice versa. If this was on something like Switch instead I'd probably get more attention.
Patrick Murphy Just assume that it's functioning somehow. The point was that the platform doesn't have that kind of audience yet,. Which of course could still change.
Depends how the camera is. With where vr is currently I could see that being a bad thing just as easily as a good thing as it's still very much the wild west right now
Fun Fact at the end of the first portion of the Credits sequence (the interactive one), two final names pops up under the Special Thanks section. These two names are in fact two fictionnal characters created by a famous French TH-camr (Joueur du Grenier, the French version of the AVGN). Plus in the level with the torchlight, you can use it to uncover some nice and funny easter eggs (one of them is a reference to Undertale). I really love this game, there are times where I've laughed a lot because it was geniunely funny. It's the kind of game that is too short not because of the lack of levels but because it's so good, we end wanting more and more levels.
some solid proof that cute, wholesome platformers or "collect-a-thon" games can still work. I don't think something like that can truly fall out of style permanently.
6:56 *I ' M G O I N G T O E A T Y O U R A S S !* Brilliant use of the VR mic, haha. Also, very funny. Yeah, the fact that you are included in the game world and you control the bot seems really fun.
The Soundtrack EVOLVES as you Progress, so the Songs you hear are NOT the same throughout. Astro's Playroom for PS5 FINALLY let's non-VR gamers hear this AWESOME Composition! Thank you Kenneth M C Young!
I honestly thought it said "Astroy Boy" instead of "Astro bot". Huh, I wonder how Mr.Rad would look like if he wore an Astro Boy costume? And also, MASSIVE ASTRO BOT ORGY
@@exex5648 I recall him getting naked in one of his videos as a joke a long time ago but I can't remember which one it was. I thought it was Punky Skunk but I rewatched that one a while back and that joke isn't in it so must've been another one
Wow, thank you Mr. Rad. I've been looking for a new 3D platformer to play for some time now, and this one went completely under my radar. From what you showed off I was extremely impressed, and when you were talking about the dual use on the laser hover, it reminded me of something I once heard in game development, where instead of over-complicating a control scheme, it's more important to make your already existing functions have multiple purposes. I don't know if you'll come across this comment, but I just wanted to say that since I stumbled across your reviews, I have been consistently stunned by your content. It's rare to see a youtuber go as in depth into their subjects as you do, the first one that really comes to mind other than you would be Matthewmatosis, and I find that to be an extremely high bar. People like you really inspire me to be more than a standard 9-5 worker, and really push myself to be better. Maybe one day I'll make a game and I'd love for you to just stumble upon it years from now when I can actually produce it, and hopefully you'll enjoy it, haha. Again, thank you for all your hard work, and I anticipate your next video!
Finally got myself a psvr yesterday and so far Astrobot is the purest and most precious thing ever. I feel like it’s been so long since I simply enjoyed playing a game, taking the time to just enjoy the scenery, to look at the little footprints my robot friend leaves on sand, the effects when he runs through grass and his cute little noises. This game really makes me feel like a kid again, I did these exact things when I first played Zelda the wind waker when I was seven and the games that are able to replicate this feeling are so rare and important to me. I don’t know if I would have bought it without this review since I’m generally not that much into platformers and I tend to be close-minded about the genres of games I enjoy, your channel helped me open up and try new things, thank you ! Also in the first water level when Astrobot grabbed my face and just stayed there being cute I almost started crying because it was just so frickin adorable
Oh wow. I really don't have much interest in VR as none of the VR games I've seen have even remotely caught my interest. This is the first exception to that. It's not enough to justify dropping the money for a Playstation VR right now but I'll make a mental note of this one for the future as I'd definitely love to give it a go.
Astro Bot just puts the biggest, dumbest smile on my face. He's cute on his own, but all the little details they put into him like the waving makes him all the more adorable.
I would argue that Tearaway/Tearaway Unfolded is another great Sony first-party platformer made in recent years, and it also has a few moments where I felt a connection to in game characters... But that's Media Molecule, and there is a very good reason they're my favourite developers. ...But yeah, this game looks utterly brilliant, and the soundtrack is legit excellent. I need to grab myself PSVR for this.
I watched supergreatfriend's gameplay video on this and it really blew me away. I think he's absolutely correct when he says it's one of the first VR games that really feels like it absolutely *_NEEDED_* to be VR. It'd lose so much without it. A lot of VR games really don't seem to accomplish that, I feel.
This looks like such a delightful game! I can't believe I haven't heard of it before. This is why I love your videos. You always bring attention to under appreciated games. Amazing work as always.
Hearing you talk about this game and it's hardware interaction really makes me want to recommend you play Tearaway on the Vita, not the PS4 version. It's so endearing and instills as real sense of magic in the game. The way you interact with the world feels so natural and cute. It makes excellent use of Vita hardware in ways the ps4 can't compete with. The conclusion to the simple story is simply heart warming. There's a lot to love in tearaway, please check it out!
Started playing this last week and I cannot put it down! It's like the Super Mario 64 of VR. Platforming with this sense of visual depth, 360 exploration and adorabilty factor is amazing. Bring on Crash Bandicoot in VR! :D
Speaking of first party platformers I really really loved Puppeteer on PS3 it had great music, was very fun with tons of charm and was beautiful to look at, the story book lore parts were also surprisingly dark, really wish more people gave it a shot.
I've always been kind of a skeptic of VR. It just never seemed like something I would get the most enjoyment out of for the money spent on it. Doesn't help I get headaches once a week and something like that might make the rate of them higher, but tbh this is the kind of game I see myself playing on VR if I ever do decide to finally try it out. Either that or the remake of Atari's Battlezone.
I never really thought I'd be this interested in a channel like yours, but I am, the way you talk and share your opinions and thoughts and just the overall way you strucure your videos is perfect for me, you point out good and bad, and you tells us your connection with the game of the video which lets us take that into account and make our own minds up in a way I haven't done with games before, keep up the great work.
I have to admit: Sony have supported VR far longer and far better than I had anticipated. If they can keep the brand going long enough to reach a Mk.II headset, VR could be here for a looong time!
I will admit I only had a passing interest in PSVR before watching this review. Right after watching, I was searching up all the different games that supported the peripheral and how much it was going to cost to get both the PS4 and VR set. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Nitro Rad. This Astro Bot to me was the system seller. When I get the funds (and time) I'll be looking into nabbing the necessary hardware and this game among others. I've now got my eye on Tetris Effect and a few others as well.
You saying it's unreal man while wearing the headset truly encapsulates the scope of how fun and engaging this game is. I finally got a PlayStation VR a week ago even though it's been out for years and it is so worth it! Great review in awesome Channel thank you!
I really like this channel because usually people review games people know about and they mention theses types of games but they never talk about them but now there is finally a TH-camr that reviews these types of games that i always wasted to know about and i really appreciate that.
This is the first exclusive thing for PSVR to actually grab my attention, and I may get it for this game. But not now. Now is when I go Christmas shopping and pray I find something awesome, which is costly in its own right.
I tried this game on an event once back in August, it really impressed me how deep it was and it made me hope for more VR full games, if I were to get a PSVR this and Tetris effect would be the must buys.
Astro Bot is extremely cute and there is a full game of Astro Bot the PS5 that comes free with it! In my mind, these goofy little robots are the official mascots of the PlayStation consoles. I think that Little Big Planet was supposed to be that but....
Some say that Crash and Spyro are supposed to be the PlayStation mascots but I'd liked to think Sony had Sir Dan from MediEvil as their backup mascot since the former two are owned by Universal and not them
This review was amazingly done honestly. I've already played the games, but the way you explained and showed everything, I could feel the joy the games gave me again. Really well done, sir
it is an amazing game that only works in VR that sold me the headset...like skyrim and wipeout, superhot, too many amazing games! get one this black Friday!
Dang I had never heard of this game. I'll keep it in mind for if I ever get PS VR. Thank you! For a review suggestion: I would be interested to see you cover the 3D platformers American McGee's Alice and Alice Madness Returns. The former is a PC game made in Quake 2's engine in 2000 (which makes its design a lot more unique than you'd expect) and the latter is the all platforms sequel to it made in 2011.
I already have a ps4 though don't have a PS VR, but man Astro Bot next to Moss is the reason why I want a PS VR so bad! unfortunately even after the price dropping the PS VR is very expensive in where I live :( with its price I can buy a ps4 pro as mine is the base ps4. the people who did this game is *Japan Studio* Japan studio is actually Sony of Japan themselves. some of the games they build was Ape Escape series. the Forbidden Siren series. Gravity Rush. Rain. Tokyo's Jungle. Puppeteer. Rouge Galaxy. Bloodborne. Knack..... yes you've read that right *KNACK BABY!* so strange, they hit the rock bottom with knack then came up with a bang with Astro Bot.
Wow i just randomly clicked on this video because i was entertained watching the 3d mario reviews and DAMN I didnt know something like this excists. Looks so vivid and fun experience.
Well, here's my reason to get a PSVR ! I've been following your works for a while, Nitro, and thanks to them I discovered a lot of great, obscure games ,like Skylar & Plux, which I got recently. Subscribed right away!
I really hope that this sells well. It looks like a truly great game, made by people who seem to understand what VR and Platforming can do. Thanks for showing me this game, would've never seen it otherwise.
PLEASE review Astros playroom, it's a sudo-sequel to this game built-in to the PS5, showcasing all the new features with plenty of fun references and an amazing soundtrack
He mentions how the game has some references to other games. One of my favorite examples is that in the ghost level you can use your light to see a hidden Undertale reference and as a big Undertale fan it made me very happy.
the first time I saw this game was on a Game Makers Toolkit live-stream and I really was floored! it looked so good. I really wish I had a PSVR to play it on
Sony was still publishing first party platformers with thr Ratchet and Clank games for ps3 and ps4 , which were some great titles , so it's not like Sony forgot about platformer genre in general
There was also a Sly Cooper game on the PS3. And were the Infamous games REALLY all that different from Sly 2&3? Both make you climb buildings, do missions and all that shit.
It's still been pretty slim pickings for Sony brand platformers this gen. All we had was Ratchet & Clank which played well but kind of terrible for a remake and Little Big Planet 3 which was pretty buggy at launch and didn't seem to do as well as 2. Would love to see something like this or that long ago teased Sly 5 though that's not VR exclusive.
The Ratchet series got really samey pretty quickly. And other than LittlebigPlanet, that was the ONLY competent series they were putting out. Compared to the PS1 and PS2 that both had a huge variety of platformers to choose from, their attention to the platformer genre in the past 10 years has been underwhelming.
@@NitroRad One has to wonder, are Jak 2&3, Ratchet 1,2&3 and Sly 2&3 REALLY platformers? It's true they all have platforming elements but they all seem to focus way more on other kinds of gameplay. Vehicles, gun combat, completing open world missions, etc.
Nah that I'm thinking about it I wonder if it was made by the same Japan Studio team behind games like LocoRoco? It definitely did seem to fit in with that teams works overall ☺ COME ON ASTRO BOT 2 🤞
i can't believe... you're convincing me to but ps4 AND psvr just for this lil guy. it does seem like it's a game made with care so oh my god, i need it
I just recently got a PSVR as a gift from my girlfriend and this is one game I definitely need to check out. I tried out the demo and loved every second of it.
nitrorad naturally completes the rayman colorpallet once he wears that sweater. its insane
AHAHA I knew something looked familiar
Yep, looks good on him, ngl
his hair even looks the same

Theres 2 game reviewer I can see doing that. Him and Somecallmejohnny.

thorhighheels does that pretty well imo
@@beat-man5167 thanks for the suggestion! I sub to them as well :D

I second this
Some titles going underappreciated is the price that needs to be paid for gradually turning VR into more than just a gimmick
It sounds like the game wouldn't work as well outside of vr though.
Patrick Murphy Just assume that it's functioning somehow. The point was that the platform doesn't have that kind of audience yet,. Which of course could still change.
@@Dr0dd It's still functional without VR but it would be just a competent platformer game is like Super Mario 64 but as 2D game instead on 3D
Wait, you do platformers, right?
Man, I'd love to see you tackle the Klonoa series.
I'm still surprised he hasn't
Dr. Granola. YES PLEASE
OH MY GOD THAT WOULD BE PERFECT
Just you know, there is gonna be a whole lot of feels!
Klonoa on ps2. Memories on that ps2 disc lol
With the sheer scale of these boss battles, now I wonder how a Shadow of the Colossus VR would be like.
THAT WOULD BE NUTS
That would be amazing!! And also terrifying. (?
Depends how the camera is. With where vr is currently I could see that being a bad thing just as easily as a good thing as it's still very much the wild west right now
I wasn't very found of the bosses in astro bot they were either really easy or annoying
Very nauseating from being thrown around.

Looks really fun. If I ever get into VR I'll definitely look into this game first.
I nearly choked on my drink when Nitrodino was yelling, “I’m going to eat your ass!”
I really hope that this sells well. It looks like a truly great game, made by people who seem to understand what VR and Platforming can do.
Thanks for showing me this game, would've never seen it otherwise.
Would LOVE a Video about Astro´s Playroom and the new Astro Bot in the future!
Dude, I've never heard of this game before but your review really hyped me up on it! This looks pretty cool and unique and just a fun lil romp!
PLEASE review Astros playroom, it's a sudo-sequel to this game built-in to the PS5, showcasing all the new features with plenty of fun references and an amazing soundtrack
He mentions how the game has some references to other games. One of my favorite examples is that in the ghost level you can use your light to see a hidden Undertale reference and as a big Undertale fan it made me very happy.
I got this one in my VR bundle. Hadn't heard of it before, but I'm glad this seems decent.
the first time I saw this game was on a Game Makers Toolkit live-stream and I really was floored! it looked so good. I really wish I had a PSVR to play it on
Astro Bot feels like Playstation going all Nintnedo on us. I LOVE IT!!!
Sony was still publishing first party platformers with thr Ratchet and Clank games for ps3 and ps4 , which were some great titles , so it's not like Sony forgot about platformer genre in general
There was also a Sly Cooper game on the PS3.
And were the Infamous games REALLY all that different from Sly 2&3? Both make you climb buildings, do missions and all that shit.
It's still been pretty slim pickings for Sony brand platformers this gen. All we had was Ratchet & Clank which played well but kind of terrible for a remake and Little Big Planet 3 which was pretty buggy at launch and didn't seem to do as well as 2.
Would love to see something like this or that long ago teased Sly 5 though that's not VR exclusive.
The Ratchet series got really samey pretty quickly. And other than LittlebigPlanet, that was the ONLY competent series they were putting out.
Compared to the PS1 and PS2 that both had a huge variety of platformers to choose from, their attention to the platformer genre in the past 10 years has been underwhelming.
@@NitroRad One has to wonder, are Jak 2&3, Ratchet 1,2&3 and Sly 2&3 REALLY platformers? It's true they all have platforming elements but they all seem to focus way more on other kinds of gameplay. Vehicles, gun combat, completing open world missions, etc.
super goron terrible how , as in story or gameplay, cause if it's gameplay I definitely have to respectfully disagree with you
Wow, I just happen to buy a VR yesterday. Now I know a good game to start with!
This is great. Unknown platformer game, good review, actual fun bits ... Keep it up!
Nah that I'm thinking about it I wonder if it was made by the same Japan Studio team behind games like LocoRoco? It definitely did seem to fit in with that teams works overall ☺ COME ON ASTRO BOT 2 🤞
Dude you gotta change the title to this video since the new Astro a game is called Astro bot
Just in time for my bus ride, thanks my guy
I laughed so hard at the green monster voice part
You make PSVR sound really tempting.
If you don’t smile at least once while playing this, I don’t think you’re human.
I really want this game and PlayStation VR
This game... it's setting the standard for future VR games.
A Nitro Rad vid on my birthday? Perfect!
My favorite part about the Boss Battles is the Scale
The way they always Stare you Down to mean that YOU MEAN BUSINESS
Someone didn't play PS3 Puppeteer it was a great platformer from Sony Japan. Unfortunately it came out in Sept. the Year the PS4 came out.
This is one of my top ten favorite games of all time
i can't believe... you're convincing me to but ps4 AND psvr just for this lil guy. it does seem like it's a game made with care so oh my god, i need it
I love how you make me think about getting a PSVR just for this game.
Just need a PS4 first...
I just recently got a PSVR as a gift from my girlfriend and this is one game I definitely need to check out. I tried out the demo and loved every second of it.
